President Trump is vowing to sign an executive order that would seek to end the right to U.S. citizenship for children born in the United States to noncitizens, a move that most legal experts say would run afoul of the Constitution and that was dismissed Tuesday by the House’s top Republican.As
brownpau says, this is an attempt by Trump to strip citizenship from people like me.
My parents are citizens, but at the time I was born, they were legal permanent residents and were not naturalized until later.
So, who else is falls into this category? Basically, a huge swath of non-White Americans that have known no other country, much like the DREAMers. This is nothing less than ethnic purification.
While this is something straight from Trump's id that isn't legal, the lesson of the last two years is that a lot of things thought impossible in government were enforced by convention only. I think this one is a bit more of a stretch that his Muslim travel ban, so I don't think this is likely. I will never forget this, however.
Speaking of which, I do know a really nice person that thinks Lindsey Graham is essentially a nice man, so I want to remember this:
Trump’s comments to Axios were cheered Tuesday by some fellow Republicans, including Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (S.C.), who has long sought to end birthright citizenship. “This policy is a magnet for illegal immigration, out of the mainstream of the developed world and needs to come to an end,” Graham said, adding that he would introduce legislation toward that goal.
